In over 20 years of writing about relationships, I’ve had the honor of winning a Louie Award, authoring 23 children’s books, and creating a lot of really, really crappy first drafts.
Getting the privilege to write every day is a dream come true that has not only made me a better communicator, but also a more empathetic human. Writing connects us. And I love that.
I started KatStano.com as a way to connect with other sensitive souls who love nature, animals, and, of course, shopping! I wanted to bring together a community of other homebodies, overthinkers, underdogs, friendly eco friendly folks, creative kindred spirits, magical thinkers, recovering people pleasers, vintage lovers, pet pawrents, sparkle enthusiasts, and anyone who chooses kindness as their default.
Do you see yourself here? Because I do. And I’m glad you’re here, too.

My Featured Books
Bear Strong: Coming Soon!
Bear Strong is a passion project created with my husband, Jon. Based on a true story of an incredible dog named Bear, this children’s book is about perseverance, triumph, and love. Bear Strong was written as a gift to ThisIsHouston, an animal rescue in Houston, TX. All sales fully benefit ThisIsHouston.
